The MIVEC has very good low end power and torque too as have the new boxers of the Subes, they have full variable timing on both intake and exhaust sides now which helps alot with that. :)
Yep, tuning the front/rear power bias on the fly would be good - a bit like what you can do with Sube Sti's and Libertys :) Japs one step ahead again...
And yeah Audis are so hot, but damn the price points on all their range...I'm still keen on a TTS though, waiting for the MY10 face lift before making any firm decisions...:smile2:
Mk6 Golf R20 will definitely not be a cheap offering here in Aust. save your pennies and get an Audi instead ;)
If you reaearch it's total technical specs, you'll quickly discover why rj.
Factory 'stoich' or AFR is very rich in setting, as it's been designed to expand the power envelope to a much greater power level...it also features a fuel pump and injectors that go way beyond the factory power level as well, obviously set up for easy and inexpensive future model power increases...
Simple remaps and exhaust enhancements not only result in massive power increases, but also return far superior specific fuel consumption figures as well ;)
Am aware of all the APR (and HPA) gear for the Haldex, there's a guy on the OzAudi forum getting one off stuff done by APR Aust. to his TTS ATM am watching with keen interest for the final results...
HPA are also setting up shop here in Aust. soon (in NSW) :cornut:
Jusdging by the prices being thrown round for the new MK 6 Golf GTI in Australia (not much change at all) I would expect the GOlf R (no such thing as the R20 etc anymore) to be roughly the same as the outgoing R32. Mid 55K + ORC. So roughly 10K less than a S3 or top spec STI/EVO X
New performance figures have the Golf R at 0-100 in 5.5/5.7 secs
